Hi Bill,

This is a follow up to my post of 09/24. I was able to remove the drive washer by using a modified battery post puller. However I still am unable to remove the piston/con rod assembly. As I stated in my first post I have removed the cylinder liner but I cannot get the con rod to clear the crankshaft journal. There are 2 wrist pin bosses on the inside of the piston that will not allow the con rod to be lifted enough to clear the CS journal. I have two O.S. engines that come apart using your procedure but this ST just won't do it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The engine once again is a ST G 21, disp. .46 and has the following cast into the rear cover: CA 35/3.

Thank you,
Don
